Then continue supporting them and stop spouting drivel about them not existing.

If you want them enforced you need to treat them as something to be taken seriously, and you need to condemn goverments when they violate them.

Idolizing a document over human rights is terrible.

Well, to be clear, human rights, other than being a vague philosophical concept, are also a document. Much younger, and much more sensible and uncompromising, but still also a document.

Hopefully if new rights are deemed to be needed, they can be added.

All my rights are guaranteed by the constitution, and federal/state/local laws. If it's not listed in these examples, it is not a right.

A quick glance shows that even your constitutional rights have no weight. The system makes exceptions all the time and wields ambiguity like a weapon. All rights mean nothing when promised by a hypocritical and opportunistic state.

Every time y'all talk like this it makes you sound like you don't think human rights should be respected or enforced.

I believe leftists feel being forced to perform manual labor while imprisoned is a form of slavery/servitude.

Yes, prisoners are outsourced via the private prison system to work jobs. In most prisons, this work is required by them. In most prisons, the inmates are paid less than $1 per hour. In several States, they he completely unpaid.

Seeing as the definition of slavery is defined by loss of rights, majority or total dependance on ones captors, and forced labor- yes, imprisonment in the US seems to be definitionally slavery, and so are most prison programs around the world.

China is a member of the UN, and their treatment of Uyghur muslims is pretty well known at this point.

There have been many reports (long ago and recently) of the US government using torture as a means to produce information.

I don't have to tell you how often someone is frivolously arrested in the US.

These are all railed against by leftists as violationsmof human rights, constantly.

Yes, human rights are not some God-given rule of physics. They have to be fought for constantly.

Yes, the US is a hypocritical body that violates its own tenants constantly.

This does not mean 'human rights don't exist'. They are defined and codified. Their enforcement is does not determine their existence.

The blahaj is a marketable plushie. Death is a mercy.

Kill the blahaj yourself, then open the drawer.

You forgot about polymer shortening. During the first synthesis process from petroleum to the usual type of plastic, long polymer bonds are formed which give the plastic its malleable-yet-durable characteristics. During shredding to get the plastic into a more feedable shape (as in feedable through a hopper into an extruder to be melted) those polymers are shortened. This polymer shortening ends up leading to a more brittle plastic, and because of this new plastic beads are added to rejuvinate.

Because of this, recycling plastic inherently requires new plastic in its process, and old plastic is only recyclable for a few cycles until its essentially garbage being mixed into the process.

We are essentially just pushing out the inevitable, which will be that we'll need to dispose of massive amounts of plastic waste that is unusable after a few cycles. I imagine we'll eventually just have to compress this waste into blocks and bury those blocks deep underground like nuclear waste.

I don't think Navalny believed any resistance would be mounted for him - he might have had hope but I don't think he counted on anything. I think he chose to go back knowing he would likely die. He chose to be a martyr to maximize the effect he'd have.

Because minimum wage for servers stayed dirt cheap while inflation skyrocketed, and now businesses are fighting to keep servers employed (but still aren't willing to pay a living wage).

It's all fueled by cyclical logic where the business refuses to accept that they're immoral for requiring tipping. Might be legal- it's still a concious failure of responsibility to short your staff and expect someone else to make up that difference.

Anyone done the elephant room test on it yet? /s

Using syncthing and obsidian with the excalidraw addon does this. Don't know if that'll meet your standards, but it'll do handwriting, offline work, and syncing.

While obsidian is not open source, it is extensible with a large community, so it can do a very wide variety of workflows. It's what I used before moving to Logseq.

Like clockwork! Almost as reliable as the OS /s

Linux has no mainstream advertising so word-of-mouth is the only way it gets adopted.

This might be a deeper dive than you mean but should cover everything you'd need to know and more
